Genes affected

NPC1 (HGNC:7897): (NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1) This gene encodes a large protein that resides in the limiting membrane of endosomes and lysosomes and mediates intracellular cholesterol trafficking via binding of cholesterol to its N-terminal domain. It is predicted to have a cytoplasmic C-terminus, 13 transmembrane domains, and 3 large loops in the lumen of the endosome - the last loop being at the N-terminus. This protein transports low-density lipoproteins to late endosomal/lysosomal compartments where they are hydrolized and released as free cholesterol. Defects in this gene cause Niemann-Pick type C disease, a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by over accumulation of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids in late endosomal/lysosomal compartments.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.85).

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 16, 2016	Variant summary: The NPC1 c.1947+10G>T variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/5 splice prediction tools predict the variant to impact normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant is absent in 116580 control chromosomes. However, this variant falls into hyper variable region consisted of poly-G track and there are many alterations of this region reported in NON-PASS filter option in ExAC. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable databases/clinical diagnostic laboratories, nor was it evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Due to the absence of clinical information and lack of functional studies, the variant was classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available. -
